Given these library versions:

I'm following the manual install HOWTO to the letter so far, what am I missing?

[felixdoerre]

From the Readme:

Due to a bug/missing feature in the Vulkan Loader you will need Vulkan/libvulkan >= 1.1.108. If you have an older system you can try primus_vk version 1.1 which contains an ugly workaround for that issue and is therefore compatible with older Vulkan versions.

You have version 1.1.73 which is too old.

[felixdoerre]

Just for your information: We are working on backporting primus-vk to debian buster. I can try to remember this issue, when we are finished and update it when primus-vk is available in buster backports. Do you have debian buster as OS? Or is it an ubuntu (where it will probably take longer until primus-vk is available from the OS)?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04. But it's not a show stopper over here. I just wanted to play a specific game on Steam that seems to require it.

I am closing this issue as we have identified the cause of the compile errors.
